You could have cut the air with a knife. No one spoke. No one moved. No one knew what to say. My eyes stayed focused on the photo the princess had handed me. My mind was racing as I began piecing the puzzle together. It all makes sense now, I said to myself. "I never would have guessed that they were power rangers."

The princess came up to me, her facial expression telling me she was confused. "How do you know my rangers?" she asked.

I looked over at her and smiled. "We go to school together," I said.

"Really?" The princess asked, excitedly.

I nodded. "Yeah," I answered. I handed the picture back to her. "From left to right you have Ryan, Michelle, Devin, Sara, and Dan." The princess looked up from the picture, staring off into space. "Princess? When did they acquire their powers?"

The princess looked over at me. "Almost two months ago." she answered.

I nodded in acknowledgement. "That is about the time they started disappearing," I said. I looked back at the photo. "Now everything makes sense." When I looked up, the princess was staring at me. "Something wrong?"

She shook her head as she smiled and chuckled. "Not at all," she said, still smiling. "Actually, it's quite the opposite." I looked at her, confused. She continued to smile. "You are the Caleb that all the rangers talk about. Especially Michelle. They all said you reminded them of a wolf."

She looked over at my Grandpa Merrick. "I had never put it together that they were talking about your grandson, Merrick," she said, happily. He blushed as his facial expression changed from a stern look to a slightly surprised look.

Then, the silence was broken as the fountain erupted. The princess ran over to it. "There is an Org attacking the city," she said as she turned around.

Zen-Aku walked up to the fountain and looked down. "I'll go," he said, as he headed out the way we came in.

"Are you sure?" my Grandpa Merrick asked. Zen-Aku turned around and nodded.

"I'll be fine," he said. "I'll be back soon." And with that, he left.

"Now then," my Grandpa RJ said. "We need to get down to business." He walked over to where the package was, picked it up, and handed it to me. "This is yours."

I took the package, not really knowing what would be in it. I was hesitant. I didn't know if I should open it until the princess came over to me. "Go ahead. Open it," she said.

So, I ripped the paper off to reveal a jacked that had been folded up and a box on top of it.

"Well, are you going to put it on?" The princess asked.

And so I did. I put the box back on the table and slid on the jacket. It was made of leather, with the words "Howling Wolf" on the back. On the front was a picture of a wolf. As I zipped it up, I heard my Grandpa Merrick sigh. I looked over at him. His face was no longer read. He looked proud, but sad.

"I had never expected to see that again," he said. He walked over to the table and picked up the box. "I guess I shall do this properly." He turned the box around, so he could pick up the lid and point the open box towards me.

He opened the box and, as he did, a silver light began to shine from it. He brought the box closer to me as he held it open. I looked down into the box to see a wolf-like cell phone with a band on it. "I present to you the Lunar Caller. This will morph you into the Wild Force Lunar Ranger. The Howling Wolf," He smiled at me. His voice high and mighty. I smiled back at him. "Go on. Take it."

And so I did. I took out the morpher and strapped it on my left hand. "Now then," my Grandpa Merrick began. "That morpher…" he trailed off, as he looked at my morpher. I looked down too. The morpher was glowing. I held my arm out, now knowing what to do. The morpher began glowing silver and purple. About a minute later the light dimmed. We all stared at it as the light faded from it.

"What it the world?" both my grandfathers asked together.

The morpher still looked like it did, but the colors had changed. It was now silver and purple with a black crescent moon on the top.

"It's our colors, Merrick," my Grandpa RJ said. "The silver would be you, the purple: me. But the black…"

"The black would be Zen-Aku," my Grandpa Merrick said. "He was the original wielder of the Wolf, Hammerhead, and Alligator Wild Zords." He looked back at me. "Though, I'm not entirely sure why it changed colors." He trailed off.

"Could it be because of his control over Aura?" my Grandpa RJ asked.

"Well, right now it doesn't matter. Now then, as I was trying to say before," he began to speak again, but this time I couldn't hear him. All I could hear was a howling in my ears. It was as if the morpher was talking to me. It began sending impulses to me. And, finally, I gave in.

I held my arm horizontally, with my morpher facing my Grandpa Merrick. I pulled it open. Then, I pulled my arm up, making it slanted and, with my first two fingers of my right hand, pressed the big button in the middle. Finally, I raised the morpher up to my ear and shouted: "Lunar Access!"

I felt the morpher release its power into my body. When my entire body was covered in light, except for my head, the light shattered away and I was in a suit. Then, my head was covered as my helmet came on. I heard a final howl as the light around my body began to fade.

My grandfathers were looking at me in wonder, both of their mouths wide open. The princess just smile. "You are now the new Lunar Ranger," she said. "Welcome, Howling Wolf!"
